I bought this on a friend's recommendation. The color is translucent, so it blends in really well with the skin. I really love the way it leaves a dewy color on the cheeks. It gives a radiant look. I don't wear foundation, so I didn't have any issues with my base makeup smudging. It's compact and doesn't take up much space, and I personally prefer less than more, so I like it. Since it's a balm, it doesn't dry out, so it's good for autumn and winter, and the orange shades are good for summer sun makeup. The color lasts better than powder blush, but I'm not sure if the look I get right after applying my makeup in the morning will last forever.
